Abstract
The author examines India's opposition to the war in Iraq in light of its pro-Arab foreign policy. As the author states, while many within the Indian political circles have criticized India's unwavering pro-Arab foreign policy and have observed that India could have acquired invaluable economic and political gains had it cooperated with the United States' current Middle Eastern foreign policy and offered, at the minimum, unenthusiastic support for the current war instead of outright criticism. It explains that India could not have done so, as such an action would have implied Indian negation of its post-colonial history on the one hand and the sentiments of its Muslim population on the other. Consequently, opposition to the current war is best understood through a historical analysis of Indian-Arab foreign policy; it was predetermined by the country's ideology, political history and ethnic composition.
From the Paper
"India, according to foreign policy analysts and international relations scholars, has pursued a consistent pro-Arab foreign policy over the past fifty years and more. Numerous explanations have been forwarded for India's unwavering pro-Arab foreign policy stance, ranging from reference to cultural and historical affinity to others which primarily focus on pragmatic economic calculations. It is, as this part of the research paper shall try to argue, a combination of multiple factors. In other words, it is impossible to ascribe India's pro-Arab foreign policy to any one factor as it is the outcome of multiple considerations. It is largely due to these considerations that India's stand against the present Iraq war and its unequivocal refusal to contribute to the war effort with a minor contingent of peacekeepers was predicted by numerous students of Indian foreign policy and international relations, even prior to India's official announcement of its position."

" INTRODUCTION
American Indian life has been based on endurance, on the ability to survive and adapt. At one time, the Native American population was much larger than it is today and ruled the entire continent. The coming of Europeans also meant the beginning of a policy of extermination, a genocidal war against a people because they had a different worldview, a different religion, and were in possession of vast tracts of land whose resources the Europeans wanted to exploit. There was a fundamental difference between the way Europeans viewed the world and its relationship to the human community and the way Native Americans viewed these issues. Europeans believed God had given them dominion over nature, while Native Americans believed that humanity had links to the chain of being of living nature and were part of it instead of.."

Indian Givers: How the Indians of the Americas Transformed the World., 2008.

Abstract
The paper discusses that the term 'Indian giver' has come to be a synonym for someone who gives something, only to take it back. The paper further explains that it was the Indians who were forced to give to the Europeans--their knowledge about farming and fishing in the Americas and ultimately their land. The paper discusses that in Jack Weatherford's book, "Indian Givers: How the Indians of the Americas Transformed the World," the exchange between Europeans and Native Americans was an unequal one, with Europeans taking of the positive benefits of the New World, while the Indians were doing all of the giving. The paper concludes that unwittingly, the Indians found themselves the recipient of the evils of European civilization, like slavery, and a disrespectful attitude to the land.
From the Paper
"According to Weatherford, the early post-Columbian contact of the Europeans with the native populace actually enabled the Industrial Revolution to change Europe, and ultimately the world. "Had Europe and America not come together through Columbus or some other connection, the industrial revolution would never have happened in the way we know it," because Europeans would never have gained access to the metals of the New World, or to Indian mines (Weatherford 57). This contact also generated the money economy of Europe and fueled a shift to a European economy based upon real, hard, convertible currency. Metal-based currency also was critical in fueling industrialism and world trade. By beginning the book with tales of South American encounters with Europe, which were particularly brutal and unequal from the beginning of the Indian-European relationship, Weatherford initiates a tragic tone, explaining how enslaved South American Indians mining gold and silver in Potosi supplied the precious metals for most of the European coins that generated wealth for the Old World at the expense of the liberty of the New World."

Bibliography
From the Paper
"Crude prices had already slumped this year, partly on lower demand for heating oil, fuelled by a mild winter across Europe and America. But they dropped further after the announcement of Saudi Authorities not to participate in the OPEC Cartel for price hike by output cut. Thus the situation in the international market is healthy and in Asia the crude is being traded around $51/Barrel. In this situation, it is urgent to immediately effect a cut in domestic oil prices to curb inflation in other commodities specially food articles and food products."

Abstract
This paper discusses and analyzes the film, "Gandhi", directed by Richard Attenborough. Specifically, it compares and contrasts the British "imperial power" in India and the United States' preemptive war in Iraq, citing the motives behind each conflict. In addition, it includes the main political arguments for the British policies in India and the Bush administration's policies in Iraq. Nonviolent reform is the best course of action in the world, and war should never be an option for "solving" the world's problems.
From the Paper
"Mahatma Gandhi is probably the world's best known advocate of peaceful protest. Gandhi's actions in India and throughout the world show that superior power can be worn down by non-violent means. Gandhi, born on October 2, 1869 in Porbandor, India, was educated as a lawyer in Great Britain, and knew little of India's problems before he returned to his homeland from South Africa in 1914. His parents were wealthy Hindus, and he gained much of his early feelings about life, peace, and the world from his mother, who strongly influenced him. It was from his first experiences in South Africa that his thoughts and ideals on passive resistance were born. Thrown off a train for being "colored" in a remote town on his way to Pretoria, his first instinct was to leave. A Gandhi biographer writes, "His sensitivity prevailed upon him, eventually, and as the dawn streaked the cold hills, Gandhi's mind had been made up: he headed toward Pretoria. As Louis Fischer pithily puts it, 'the germ of social protest was born'" (Puri 8). Thus, Gandhi quickly learned about prejudice and hatred in South Africa, and he created his lifelong philosophy of peaceful resistance to tyrants and bigots, too."

Abstract
The paper explains that Jack Weatherford began to examine the history of the Native American as he discovered that many agricultural products would not have been produced in farming without the knowledge that Indians gave those in the new world. The paper describes how Weatherford further stipulates that it is through these advances in agriculture that the United States has remained a strong contender in the global market ,and that without the influences of the Native Americans on the early settlers those new to America would not have survived. The paper analyzes how, through his work, "Indian Givers: How Indians of the Americas Transformed the World", Volume I, Weatherford brings an insight to a people that most individuals have been negligent in understanding. The paper concludes that it is Weatherford's purpose to demonstrate that Native Americans have been a misrepresented and forgotten people when the history of North America is discussed.

Abstract
India is a country that has become a subject of increasing popularity among economists and social scientists. Much of this has to do with the fact that as the nation approaches one billion in population the challenge of achieving economic development has not reduced since the country's day of independence just after the Second World War. At the same time, Indian leaders have been characterised by their desire to implement economy-wide plans, which have met with varying degrees of success. With this in mind, the purpose of this paper will be to examine the topic of economic planning and development in India. This will focus on India's export policy in the 1960s and its impact on the country's economic development from that time till now.

Abstract
This paper discusses the Miami Indians, the existence of whom were recorded by French explorers and missionaries as far back as the early seventeenth century. In particular it examines how The Miami Indians in Ohio were defeated by white encroachment on their lands and the government policies of western expansion. It analyzes how their influence in Ohio was significant although not as profound as that of Tecumseh and the Shawnees. It looks at how their major contributions were in agriculture and preparing decorative skins. It evaluates how although the Miami Indians were traditionally a society of warriors, they were unable to successfully combat the overwhelming strength and policies of U.S. Government forces and ended up defeated and diminished as was the history of all Native Americans.
From the Paper
"The Miami were known as the tattooed or naked Indians. They were lighter in color and shorter than other Illinois tribe. In spite of the severe weather of the Great Lakes region, they wore skins, leggings, and moccasins during the winter. During the summer, they wore only breechcloth and moccasins, which exposed intricate tattooing on their skin. Men wore unornamented skins most of the time. Fringed, beaded, and quilled clothing were worn for festive occasions. Women usually were lightly tattooed on the cheeks or chin. White men could never duplicate the skill of preparing skins, making the Miamis skins much more desirable. As trading continued, the Miami women used brooches and glass beads to add prestige to their clothing. They developed techniques to get striking effects such as skillful applique and nickel-silver decoration (Murdoch, 21). But even the finest of these skins was discarded by Miamis whenever they could secure European cloth (Anson, 20)."

Abstract
This paper explores and details North American Indian life and culture as portrayed in Donald Hughes' book "North American Indian Ecology." This paper discusses the land issues facing the North American Indian tribes including overgrazing, erosion and assessments of appropriate land usage. The writer of this paper finds Hughes' book to be straightforward and concise in clarifying the characteristics of Indian life such as hunting, food growing and rituals.
From the Paper
"Tribes are having to mediate the disparate demands of their members and the industrial mindset of the BIA to balance forest use for economic need and preservation for cultural need. Tribes face many of the same problems as non-Native communities held hostage by the timber industry. Replanting has not always kept pace with harvesting on public or trust lands. The push to harvest old-growth timber is constrained by federal mandates to protect endangered species habitats, putting people out of work. Few local communities gain the "value-added" benefits of processing their own timber especially jobs and new businesses and when they do the environmental impact of mill sites has to be factored into any cost-benefit analysis."

?House Made of Dawn? and ?Indian Killer?, 2002.
An analysis of two novels, ?House Made of Dawn? by N. Scott Momaday and ?Indian Killer? by Sherman Alexe, both of which bring to light the plight of the Red Indians.
1,214 words (approx. 4.9 pages), 3 sources, MLA, £ 24.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper shows how the works of both Alexe?s and Momaday commonly highlight Red Indians, representing them as a generation of people neglected, looked down, oppressed and severely under represented in nearly all spheres of an average American life. It examines how the authors, through their characters, portray the lack of understanding present in the American society for the Red Indians and the anger prevalent amongst the Red Indians. Both novels have awakened the literary world on the existence of a culture that had always been there for possibly thousands of years, but only through an occasional perspective from an anthropologist and or a historian.
From the Paper
"The depiction of other characters, such as Francisco and Reverend Tosamah too is suggestive of the evident and prevailing diversity on and about the Indian people and their culture. The first is both a staunch believer of the Catholic faith, and a medicine man for the tribal, and the second is the modern age preacher living in Los Angeles preaching the Native Indians on the Word of God and Christianity. Yet, the most important character is Abel is given the assignment of eliminating the growing difference between the Indian reservations where he and his ancestors grew up, and the city, which has trapped him, but all in vain. (Pinkmonkey, 2002)"
